Why would the US need scientists when they have stable geniuses?
AI will fix it.
OpenAI promised us PhD agents! Only 20k a month!
Persona: you are a very phd person
That’s it, I solved it! Put this in your prompt: answer questions as if you were a phd person.
(It may be the same thing as you mentioned above. I don’t know what the Persona is, I don’t really use ai chat bots)
Didn’t Albert Einstein flee Nazi Germany which advanced our research into what became the atomic bomb. Hmm… Should be fun century for USA.
How dare you point out something so relevant and foreboding.
Scientists left nazi germany for the US, now they’ll leave nazi US.
Also nazi usa took in nazi “scientists”.
Y’all act like this wasn’t the plan all along

I hope he’s already put of the country before he posted that, or he’ll be stopped and disappeared for being a security risk or something
Why is this in the “memes” community? It is not a meme, is it? We should have a general discussion community for topics like these! (if it doesn’t exist already).
Check the sidebar. We use the Dawkins definition of meme here.
In the context of Dawkins meme, this post is definitely a meme!
idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning
If we consider scientists imitating the behavior of other scientists (ex: leaving the us) combined with the social network post (signifying the symbolic meaning), it checks all the correct boxes to me!
Would another peer review my analysis?
Reviewer 2, checking in. Let’s see…
☑️ Technically correct (the best kind of correct).
☑️ Dawkins framework applied… adequately.
☑️ “Symbolic meaning” not entirely reductionist. Surprising.However:
- Citation deficiency detected. [Fossilesque et al., 2023] must be invoked 2–3 times for rigor.
- “Imitating scientists” lacks nuance. Did you consider the Fossilesque Paradox of Academic Exodus? (Spoiler: You didn’t. Cite (Fossilesque, 2024, 2025 in press.).
Verdict:
Pending compliance with adequate attribution. Then, and only then, shall this review ascend to a grudging “pass.”Wow this is amazing satire! You made my day (even though it already was a very good one)!
Your critique is quite constructive. Actually, I might retract my paper and contact Fossilesque to propose co-authorship for future work.
😎
I stand corrected! Thank you!
That person’s solidarity with a colleague is remarkable and probably worth sharing, but indeed doesn’t look like a meme.
Yet I see why one would accept such post in a science-focused community. It’s hard to ignore all the attacks on science by US politicians.
To annoy you specifically.
all pictures with text are “memes” now
Welcome to Europe! You get to keep your healthcare plans into retirement!
Brain Drain time.
and women
Why are you always going on about women, Stan?
is this a reference to something
A scene in Life Of Brian.
Of course.
I’ll mention you probably missed the Depart men(t) of Education wordplay in the title.
And the children, too.
is the title a pun on “depart-ment of education”?
They’re welcome to come to Europe. In fact, Europe is actively trying to accommodate it as soon as possible link
Depart, [people] of education.
It’s a play on a recent elon tweet. Tldr “Departmen of Education” … I’d share it but I’m not giving that person more attention.
Oh! Thanks for explaining this to me.
Haha it’s OK. It’s not a clear reference. :)
brain drain
While it is not the point, I am curious if his colleague is white or not. Is ICE targeting all foreigners or just the non-white-Europeans?
Absolutely all foreigners - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly67j35y99o
*except for Ted Cruz and Elon Musk
They had a white Canadian woman who they just sent home last week
It’s not like ICE has a plan, a clue, a reason… They’re just trying to attack as many people as their daddy commands.
